Chapter 2 The Peach Blossom Ancient Temple is accompanied by demons
"Here it is...... Lan Ruosi!" Sun Li's eyes widened, his whole body instantly became cold, and he figured out many things in an instant, such as why Nie Xiaoqian appeared in such a timely manner, why he saved himself, and why he took himself so far to come here.
Because, this is Lanruo Temple, because there is a thousand-year-old tree demon who lives by sucking the yang of passers-by, the old demon of Montenegro!
I actually crossed into the world of A Chinese Ghost Story?
Thinking of this, Sun Li's heart was full of wry smiles, and looking at Nie Xiaoqian, who was serious in front of him, he suddenly had a feeling of being cocooned. Telling the story of A Chinese Ghost Story to the heroine in A Chinese Ghost Story is really good.
But Sun Li hadn't given up yet, looking at Nie Xiaoqian in front of him, his hands were secretly clenched, and he began to exert himself.
"Thunder, thunder, thunder!" Sun Li shouted in his heart, trying his best to release the thunder and lightning he had released before. As long as you can be released, you can still be saved. After all, according to most books, thunder and lightning are the most rigid and yang things, which can easily destroy demons and all evils.
Thunder breaks ten thousand laws!
But after half a ring, there was no change between his hands at all, Sun Li was disappointed, and his heart was completely cold.
At this time, Nie Xiaoqian, who was on the side, said softly: "Actually, this is not Lanruo Temple. ”
"Huh?" Sun Li was stunned for a moment, and then heard Nie Xiaoqian continue, "This is Dajue Temple, and Lanruo Temple is just what you said." ”
"Isn't this Lanruo Temple?" Sun Li's eyes flickered a few times, and then he looked at Nie Xiaoqian, "The old demon of Black Mountain?"
"This is neither Lanruo Temple nor Montenegro, so naturally there is no old demon of Montenegro. Grandma is indeed a tree body cultivation form, but it is definitely not as smetic as you say, so you don't have to worry about your life. Nie Xiaoqian frowned, as if she was very dissatisfied.
"Is that so?" Sun Li said secretly in his heart, his eyes swept around, only to find that although the temple was dilapidated, it was definitely not ghostly, on the contrary, there was a quiet and elegant taste. Countless peach trees grow in all corners of the temple, each of which is full of pink petals, which is so beautiful that I can't help but believe seven or eight points in my heart, but I am still vigilant.
"So, what are you bringing me here for?" Sun Lifa asked.
Nie Xiaoqian pursed her lips lightly and said, "Follow me, you will know." With that, he walked out towards the depths of the temple.
Sun Li's eyes flickered, first he glanced back at the closed temple gate, and then at Nie Xiaoqian's back, and after weighing the pros and cons, he finally followed. Sun Li knew very well in his heart at this time that since the other party had said so, he would definitely not be afraid of running away, and in fact, it was true.
Sun Li didn't know exactly what the monster was capable of, but it was just that the "flying flowers hurting people" method that Nie Xiaoqian used before was something he would never be able to deal with. Therefore, it is better to know the current affairs as a handsome, wait and see the changes, and act at the opportunity is the best choice.
Thinking like this, Sun Li had already walked past countless peach trees, and followed Nie Xiaoqian to stop at a clearing.
It was a clearing, a hundred paces square, with no grass growing on it, and the only thing that remained was a scorched plum tree that seemed to have been struck by lightning.
Surrounded by a peach tree, such a clearing was suddenly born, and such a strange tree suddenly grew in the clearing, which looked weird no matter how you looked at it. But Nie Xiaoqian stretched out her hand and pointed to the scorched plum tree and said, "This is grandma." ”
"Huh, this is?" Sun Li looked at it seriously for a while, and after confirming it again and again, he suddenly had a feeling of disbelief. This is the old monster that Nie Xiaoqian calls "Grandma"? Even if it is not an old demon of Montenegro, even if it is not Lanruo Temple, but this appearance is also ...... Too bad.
Nie Xiaoqian, who was on the side, seemed to see Sun Li's thoughts, bit her lip lightly, and said, "Actually, grandma wasn't like this before, but a year ago, she failed to survive the thunderstorm and suffered a great injury to her vitality, so she became like this in order to recuperate." ”
"Oh. Sun Li responded, still staring at the plum tree, hoping to see a little bit of the monster from above, but he was disappointed. After a long time, Sun Li shook his head slightly, looked at Nie Xiaoqian on the side, and asked, "Then we all know each other, can you tell me, what are you going to do when you tricked me here?"
Nie Xiaoqian's eyes were very serious and said: "It's not a lie, it's a rescue, without me saving you, you would be dead, so ......"
"Okay, okay, what the hell do you want me to do, I don't know how to cure a tree. ”
"Whoever let you be cured, grandma has eight hundred years of cultivation, and she will recover, but it will take a little longer. Saving you is just for you to take care of your grandma, and you usually water your grandma a lot to help your grandma recover faster. ”
"How long will that take?"
"I don't know. Speaking of this, Nie Xiaoqian shook her head very calmly, "Even grandma herself doesn't know how long it will take, but I guess it's as little as three or five months, and as much as ten or eight years." ”
"Ten years?" Sun Li muttered to himself.
Ten years of hard labor!
How many decades do people have in their lives, do you have to guard a dead tree here for ten years? Thinking of this, Sun Li was silent, but clenched his hands again, and this time there was still no response. It seems that the release of thunder and lightning before and paralyzing the whole body of the Golden Leopard Lightning is just an illusion, and the ability of thunder and lightning does not exist at all.
The protagonists in other time-traveling novels all need a super anti-heaven killer weapon when they cross, which can kill gods and demons, commonly known as goldfingers. But now it's not a novel after all, and I'm not the protagonist of the novel, so I won't want to have the ability of thunder and lightning, and Goldfinger is fictional after all.
Sun Li thought bitterly, and Nie Xiaoqian on the side seemed to notice something, and looked over again and asked, "What, you don't want to?"
"Huh. Sun Li replied simply.
Nie Xiaoqian pursed her lips and slowly stretched out her hand, and in the palm of her hand, a gold-edged peach petal flew up.
In an instant, Sun Li's whole body tensed, and he was about to rise out desperately. But in the end, what made Sun Li breathe a sigh of relief was that the gold-edged peach petals did not hit him, but hit the open space on the side.
With a "bang", there was a large crack in the ground, and then as if something had been touched, with a "click" sound, an iron box rose up where the Phnom Penh peach petals hit.
Nie Xiaoqian waved her hand again, and the gold-edged peach petals flew up, and the lock of the iron box was smashed with a "pop", and the box was wide open, and there was a bright light all of a sudden.
I saw that the box was full of gold, silver and jade, pearls and jade, and the small box was simply a city.
"I won't let you take care of grandma in vain, as long as you promise to come down, everything in this box will belong to you. Nie Xiaoqian spoke again with confidence.
"Is wealth tempting?" Sun Li said softly, but there was no greed in his eyes, it was not that Sun Li didn't understand the value of these things, it was completely the sequelae of watching too many movies in modern times. In Sun Li's eyes, in fact, the wealth of this box is no different from the gadgets on the modern stall.
"What, you're not tempted?" Nie Xiaoqian looked at with a little surprise.
Sun Li smiled bitterly, but he knew extremely well in his heart that no matter how much money he had, what was the use. It's not like you're going to do ten years of hard labor here, it's not like you've almost been killed by wild beasts just now.
Money, after all, is not everything.
"What do you want?" Nie Xiaoqian's voice was slightly raised, "You should understand that I won't let you go, even if I let you go, you won't be able to get out of this mangrove, so it's better to stay." ”
"I can stay. Sun Li thought for a long time and finally spoke, after all, he had no qualifications to refuse, "However, I don't want the contents of this box, I want another thing." ”
"What is it?" Nie Xiaoqian looked a little strange.
Sun Li slowly raised his head, his gaze fell on Nie Xiaoqian's body, then moved down, and finally stopped on the gold-rimmed peach petals in the other party's hand.
"Hmm, do you want my magic weapon to be 'ten zhang soft red'?" Nie Xiaoqian's eyes widened slightly, with seven points of puzzlement and three points of reluctance, "Although this magic weapon is indeed more precious than that box of treasures, but for you who have no cultivation, you can't use it at all, what do you want this for?"
"I don't want this, I want the ability to use it. Sun Li said solemnly.
"Huh?" Nie Xiaoqian continued to stare at as if she didn't understand.
"Otherwise, I'll tell you a story. Sun Li sighed and said, "Don't you like to listen to stories." ”
"What's the story?" Nie Xiaoqian's eyes flickered and she asked.
"A very interesting little story, do you want to listen to it?"
"Good. Nie Xiaoqian nodded, although she didn't know why Sun Li suddenly changed the topic, but the story, it didn't matter if you heard it.
"A long, long time ago, there was a poor scholar ......," Sun Li said slowly.
"Scholar, is it also called Ning Caichen?" Nie Xiaoqian interjected, obviously still immersed in the previous story of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Sun Li was slightly stunned, shook his head and said, "He is not called Ning Caichen, but if you like it, you can also be regarded as Ning Caichen." ”
"Oh, you go on. ”
"This scholar is very poor, and the poverty makes everyone feel pitiful. One day, a fairy couldn't stand it anymore, so he decided to help the scholar. He came to the scholar's house, and without saying a word, he pointed to a small stone on the ground, and suddenly the little stone turned into gold. The fairy handed the gold to the scholar and asked him if it was enough, and the scholar shook his head directly. ”
The fairy was not angry, but just pointed to a larger stone on the side, and suddenly the big stone also turned into gold, but the scholar still shook his head. The immortal was a little dissatisfied, but remembering his original intention, he gritted his teeth and pointed to a mountain in the distance with his hand, and suddenly the whole mountain turned into gold. At this time, the fairy turned his head to look at the scholar and asked, is this enough, but the scholar still shook his head. ”
The fairy was really angry and asked angrily, what do you want. But the scholar replied very calmly, I don't want anything, just this finger in your hand that turns stone into gold!"
"Ah!" Nie Xiaoqian let out an exclamation, and asked with a little anger after a long time, "How can this scholar be like this, so greedy, he really deserves to be beaten!"
"No, he is not greedy, but wise. Sun Li replied expressionlessly, "Because he knows very well that no matter how much gold there is, it is useless, and there will always be a time when it is spent, and only when he has mastered the ability to turn stones into gold can he never be poor." ”
"Huh?" Nie Xiaoqian's eyes flickered a few times, and she thought for a while before looking up at Sun Li, "So, you don't want that box of wealth for the same reason as him, you want skills?"
"Yes, what I want is the ability to fly flowers and hurt people, and manipulate so-called magic weapons. Sun Li said in a deep voice, everything is false, and now only his own strength is the most fundamental. Otherwise, even if he finished ten years of hard labor and left this temple, he would not be able to leave this forest.
Moreover, Sun Li is really curious about this kind of divine ability, after all, this is something that does not exist in modern times. Calling for wind and rain, sprinkling beans into soldiers, who doesn't want this kind of ghost and god technique?
"Do you really want skills?" Nie Xiaoqian frowned slightly.
"Yes, exchange my skills for ten years of hard labor. Sun Li replied.
"In that case...... All right. Nie Xiaoqian's voice came, and then there was the sound of breaking the air.
With a "whew", Sun Li turned his head to look, and saw Nie Xiaoqian rushing towards him quickly, and a jade hand slammed down on the top of his head!
This is...... If the deal fails, you want to kill people and kill people?
In an instant, the hairs on Sun Li's whole body stood up.
